The abbot closed the door, crept to the bed, and found a key under the pillow. Turning around and opening the drawer on the left hand side and taking out a scripture book, Liu Qing felt that this scripture book was definitely not simple, otherwise the presiding abbot would not be so careful. Liu Qing looked up from the side, and sure enough, the origin of this book is not small, it is actually one of the two major scriptures of Shaolin.

Legend has it that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, the Bodhidharma Patriarch crossed east from India to China by sea, went ashore in Guangzhou, traveled north to various parts of China, and finally settled in today's Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan. In China, Patriarch Bodhidharma saw that monks meditate for many years, more still and less moving, and their bodies were unbalanced and unhealthy, so Shaolin Temple taught monks the kung fu of fitness to balance their physical and mental development. Later, Bodhidharma Patriarch passed away and was buried in Bears Ears Mountain near Shaomu Mountain, because it was rumored that someone saw the patriarch, and the descendants opened the coffin curiously to inspect it, and found that the patriarch's bones had disappeared, leaving only one shoe in the coffin. Then the monk found a glue-sealed iron box in the relic of the patriarch, which contained two scriptures written in Sanskrit, which were the famous "Yijin Sutra" and "Washing the Pulp Sutra".

The presiding abbot cleared his throat: "This scripture is a treasure of Shaolin, but the old man is kind to see that you are learning martial arts hard, and I will teach you the inner skills of this scripture, you have to study hard, and you can't go out of the door half a step." My brother will bring you food on time. ”

Liu Qing was overjoyed and thanked again and again: "Thank you, Master, I will study hard and never disappoint your teachings." ”

Okay, the host walked to the table and poured a glass of water in the cup, and took a sip: "The main chapters of the Washing the Marrow Sutra include the Beginning of the Bell Qi Chapter, the Four False Chapters, the Same Chapter of All Saints, the Consistency of Things and Me, the Chapter of Living, Sitting and Lying, and the Chapter of Washing and Reducing the Pulp." You have to listen carefully and follow the methods in the book to do it one by one, and within 100 days, you can strengthen your body and bones, soothe your liver and regulate your qi, and you can have your own luck. ”

Liu Qing was silent and listened carefully to the host's explanation.

The host continued: "The Beginningless Bell Chapter! The universe has reason, and it is difficult to hear and understand. Whoever can attain enlightenment belongs to the vitality. There is no reason to be lucky, and there is no reason to be angry. Handed over and consistent, inseparable from each other. The epidemic is uninterrupted, and everything depends on life. Wear gold and make stone, water and fire can be combined. Parallel does not harm each other. Reason and qi are the same. There is an ambush in life, and there is business in killing. Reason is used by qi, and qi is used by reason. That is, the body is used for manifestation, and it is used for the body. It is neither the body nor the use, and the body and the use are not standing. Neither irrational nor angry, a word penetrates heaven. A hundred steps forward, primitive and beginningless. Only when you understand the meaning can you wash the marrow. Do you know that? ”

Liu Qing thought for a moment, and then replied: "What it means is that the eyes, ears, and hearing ability of ordinary people, if they are only used with past experience and thinking, it is difficult to actually understand this ontology, otherwise they will not be called ordinary people." Anyone who can understand this ontology, even if it is just a little bit of information, is very helpful. Vitality is the basic energy of our life. To put it simply, we rely on breathing and eating to maintain our body functions, and convert this air, food, and water into energy to provide the body needs, and this energy is acquired. Yuan Qi, also known as innate Qi, comes with life and exists before and after death. This innate qi is consistent with the energy of all life in the entire universe. If you understand the essence of life and understand the origin of this vitality, you can be regarded as opening the door to this energy store, and you can begin to develop and use this life energy. ”

A pleased smile appeared on the host's face: "Your understanding is good, continue to speak." ”

Liu Qing replied: "Yes, energy is not static, but endless and non-stop. Even if the exhaustion leads to the death of existing life, it is only a manifestation of a cycle of low tides, and once the low tide has passed, life becomes another form and reappears, without really decreasing, disappearing, or increasing. Since this life energy is constantly moving, it must have a vein and direction of its operation, and this vein is "reason". Since the activity of qi has its own rational context, and this principle is naturally discovered by us from the movement of this vitality energy, it is said that "there is no reason without qi". The two are in unison and work together, and cannot be separated. ”

Liu Qing continued: "Yuan Qi is related to our life and death, and it is constantly flowing, if you want to use a method to gather Qi in a certain part, or want to guide it to walk in a certain direction, or want to make it stop moving. This practice may seem effective at first, but it can actually cause a lot of problems. Some people always want to feel where the qi has gone and where it stops, but in the end, most of them are just mental fantasies, so obsessing on the body's physiological reactions is not the correct practice. ”

In the face of his gushing, the host interrupted him mercilessly! If you understand the literal meaning, I'll continue to talk about the following: "The Four False Chapters. The vitality has been dense for a long time, turning into water, fire and soil, water hair Kunlun peak, and Sida pit well injection. Sit quietly and make heat, there is fire in the water, and the damp heat is transpiration, rain and dew. Born and living beings, the interests of the world. Water is clear for a long time, and fire is the fire of air. The human body is a small world, and everything is incomparable. With this transfiguration quality, it is always more than qi. Originally, I didn't have it, and it was too empty to disband. Life has not been born, and death has not died. When the remains will remain, the world after old age. In the pretense of conforming to the truth, transcending the mortal. Refer to the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and live forever. There is no truth without falsehood, and there is no limit to truth and falsehood. It should be viewed as such, true and false. The four false combinations, who can distinguish this. "Do you understand?

Liu Qing nodded.

The presiding abbot didn't ask much: "All saints return together." Ordinary people pretend to be true, beautiful clothes are body ornaments, and they are in vain to look at others. Food is the same for everyone, day after day. is busy with one thing, and there is no time to think about life and death. is always led by fame and fortune, and once his spirit is gone. The oil ran out and the lights went out, and the body was buried in the wilderness. Frightened dreams, thousands of hardships and hardships, and the illusion is endless. The saint is serious, clothed and vegetable, and is not greedy for self-control, so that he is tired. Penetrate the heavens and the earth, and be one with me. Although the body is large and small; Flexibility is no different. Heaven and earth have the sun and the moon, and the human body has two eyes. The sun and the moon are bright, and the stars and lamps follow each other. Even if the star lights go out, you will never lose your sex. Blinded, reaching out and touching his nose. The whole body is full of eyes, touching and leaning on knowledge. This is the spirit of the heart, encompassing the heavens and the earth, seeing but not seeing, hearing but not hearing. If the heart is pure, it will not be forced by lust. Know where you are, and return to where you are. Ordinary men and saints, with long and straight eyes and noses. The same comes and goes, because Peter is out of the way. If you can rest assured, remind you of life and death. Take advantage of this fitness drive and work hard. Wash the marrow and return to the original, and all saints are one. "You know that?

Liu Qing still nodded

The presiding abbot looked at him in surprise, and after a few seconds, he regained his composure and continued: "Things and I are the same. All things are not all things, and they are one with me. Conjure up all kinds of forms and assist in business. A person must have something for food and clothing. Bait and utensils are not available. Flying diving and animal plants, all kinds of people. Creation thinks of He Hong, and killing is violent. Mayflies and mosquitoes and flies, dying in the twilight of life. Turtles, cranes and deer, eat less and be convinced, but for many years, people are not as good as things, only greedy for clothes and food, forgetting life and death. Gou can stop cravings. Everything and I are the same. "Do you understand this?

Liu Qing still nodded.

The host clapped his palms, picked up the cold white in the teacup and drank it all: "Okay, live, sit and lie down." Walking like a blind without a stick, vipassana is divided, the feet are low and steamed bread, and the steadfastness is more advanced. Every step of the way, don't be in a hurry. The world is busy and wrong, and it is safe to keep it slowly. Living is like a horse on the edge of a cliff, and it is also like a boat on the shore. Returning to the light and returning to the light, recognize the pause. Do not depart from the thoughts, do not do foreign affairs. It is advisable to know and pay attention to the empty valley. Do not tilt the standing, and the shape is self-solid. The ears and eyes are quiet, and the water is stopped and the mirror is seen. Everything is in the way, and now it is all in the end. Sitting like Qiu Mountain, straight and solemn. Close your mouth and hide your tongue deeply, and you can go in and out of your nose. Rest returns to the Yuan Sea, full of energy. The bones are in harmony with the marrow, and the mind is predetermined. Lying like a basket-shaped curve, left and right as appropriate. The knees are often uneven, and the feet are like hooks. Keep both hands on the abdomen, and touch the umbilicus to feel the lower body. The testicles are rubbed together, like a dragon playing with pearls. If you are tired, you will sleep on your side, and you will not be confused in your sleep. Wake up with your feet stretched out, and your back is not restrained. The dream is not different, and the nine years are practical. Super birth and death, in the end, as intended. Walking, living, sitting and lying chapters, this is only the true meaning. "Do you understand this?

Liu Qing still nodded.

The presiding abbot looked at him carefully, and said unsatisfactorily: "Genius, genius." Are you a once-in-a-century martial arts wizard? Teaching you the mind is one of Shaolin's great merits. Last one! Washing and reducing the marrow. After the Yijin Gong is completed, it will become a diamond body. The external sense cannot be invaded, and the diet is not accumulated. I'm afraid that the seven emotions will hurt, and the original spirit will not be self-controlled. Although it has the appearance of Vajra, it is still driven by flesh and blood. It is necessary to follow the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", eat less and take more breath. Rub the dry foam bath, press the eyes and then the nose. Touching the face and rotating the ear, there is no need to count the number. Close your eyes and look at your nose often, and close your mouth to breathe. The degree is darkly harmonized, and the body is fixed. Every day on the fifth watch, spit turbidity and accept Qingxi. Open your eyes and don't be sleepy. Sit on a thick mattress and loosen the waist tie. The right knee wraps around the left knee, and the pranayama tongue is against the palate. The flank belly carries the tail lube, and the shoulders are shaken and the belly is pushed. Divide and press and lift, grip and press both knees. The nose goes in and out of the cotton, and it flows into the bottom of the sea. There is a refrain to swallow it, and it is sent into the abdomen with intention. Knock your teeth and sound the drums, and cover your umbilicus with both hands. Stretch out your feet and pull their toes, in and out of six or six breaths. Massage with both hands, and cross your knees for a long time. Straighten up and pause on both feet, the marrow washing work has been completed, slowly stand up, and move steadily. I am afraid that there will be mistakes in busyness, and slowing down is the rule. Three years and nine years, rest and cleanse. The bones are more harmonious, and they fly away from their shells. Gradually, the sky will be muddy, and the earth will end in the end. That is to say: less words in the mouth, less things in the heart, less food in the belly, less natural sleep, with these four less, longevity, the Yijin Sutra mentioned here I will teach you in the next few days. ”

Now that you know all this, practice according to the method in this scripture, and the presiding abbot puts away the scriptures and prepares to walk out of the room.

Wait, Liu Qing hurriedly stopped him.

How is there anything else? The presiding abbot asked puzzled.

Yes, Liu Qing grinned: "Can you repeat what you just said?" ”

What the? Don't you know everything? He kept nodding, and the presiding abbot said angrily.

I know a little bit, but I don't understand everything. Seeing that you are talking so hard, Master, is it too much of a blow to your old man to say that it won't be? He pouted, not talking.

Hmph, then I'll give you the scriptures, and learn from them yourself. I won't teach you yet, so you can do it yourself. After speaking, he threw the scriptures in front of him and brushed his sleeves away.
